Yeah. The fee is quite ridiculous but he can make instant impact and is a brilliant sub. Don't know why I care about the cash again though, as if it goes from my pocket. Arda is a massive addition tbh.

This club pisses me off, must have the worst negotiators in the whole of Europe. Seen scrubs being sold for more than all the youngsters we've sold. So many loan deal FFS

41M is his release clause apparently. I hope it's not him who we're signing, the guy's attitude is awful

Atletico Madrid player Arda Turan (28) told people close to him he's confident a deal with Barcelona will be closed on Friday. [md]

NOOOOOOOOOO

Me too. His agent says he hasn't been in touch with Barca but every agent says that... Never been more against a transfer, Arda's simply a *bleep* ):

Please don't.

linetty wrote:Turan is talented and all but he's just not a player for Barca. Also, how does Messi not shine in a counterattacking team? He thrives when Barca's counterattacking as well and go watch his performance versus thuglombia

*Turan to Barca confirmed*

linetty wrote:He'd be starting at Chelsea. For Barca he's just a depth signing, though a really strong one. The only con is his age, though he can make an instant impact.

linetty wrote:He's got great technique and is great on the ball. I think he can play in Iniesta's position in a 4-3-3. Enrique likes to rotate alot so he can be either subbed on for Iniesta or Neymar.

Other than that what a fcking stupid transfer. Pretty sure even a 5 year old could name a handful of cheaper and younger options...
